The LA Kings look like they don't have a clue what hit them at this point. St. Louis is just blitzing them. Quick is looking behind him on almost every other shot.

If the Blues play every game like this, then they are almost a lock for the Cup.

The refs aren't doing the Blues any favors either. LA has gotten away with a couple of OBVIOUS trips after St. Louis kept the pressure on for some long shifts and the Kings iced the puck and were totally bagged.

Yeah, and Harding has played really well. Only 5 games under his belt all year due to MS and the medications he's been on.

It would be a great story if Harding carried the Wild to the Cup. If the When the Canucks get knocked out in 5 by the Sharks, I'll be pulling for the Wild just for Harding's sake.
